HKS is, by the way, the same group of folks who brought us the it’s-so-obnoxious-it’s-good Jerry World, aka Cowboy Stadium.

Lucas Oil Stadium is a pre-cast concrete structure covered in reddish brick, with Indiana (of course) limestone at the base.

The design gives a nod to the city’s historic manufacturing buildings.

There’s 1.8-million square feet and it cost $750 million.

It normally seats 63,000 people, but 70,000 people will squish in there for the game.

It’s got a snazzy retractable, gabled roof that opens side-to-side. It’s the only NFL roof that opens this way, and it does it at a steeper angle than any other roof.

There’s also a glass window wall – 110 feet wide and 88 feet high. So in case the people who paid thousands of dollars to go to the Super Bowl are so jaded that they get bored, they can admire a view of Monument Circle and downtown Indianapolis.

The window wall is operable too! It has “six 38-foot panels open in six minutes for pre-and post-game as well as during half-time performances.”

Super geek info from HKS on the roof: “The highest point of the peaked gable is 296 feet above the playing surface. Two super frames beneath the stadium structure anchor the roof. When operated, 64 electric motors expend 960 horsepower or 1.4 million feet/pounds of torque – equal to the torque to operate 7,000 mid-size cars. The roof can open and close in nine minutes.”

Super-super-geek info from Walter P. Moore: “Two 600-foot by 160-foot panels weighing 2.9 million pounds each separate along the roof’s longitudinal ridge and roll away from each other down a straight 13.2 degree pitch toward the east and west ends of the building. Each panel rides on five parallel rails along pitched transverse trusses. Primary roof support consists of two steel sideline super-trusses, each spanning 760 feet.”
